Simultaneous operations in Dominican armories under investigation by the Attorney General’s Office
The Attorney General’s Office has launched a series of strategic interventions in various commercial establishments dedicated to the sale of firearms. These operations are part of an exhaustive investigation focused on detecting alleged irregularities in the commercialization, distribution, and handling of weaponry and ammunition within the national territory.
The actions were executed in a coordinated and simultaneous manner, with the active participation of an inter-institutional team composed of the Public Ministry, the Ministry of Interior and Police, the Ministry of Defense, and the National Police.
Research findings and objectives
During the inspections at the selected businesses, the authorities managed to seize a significant quantity of firearms and ammunition. Likewise, documents and other materials considered crucial for the progress of the investigative process were confiscated. Everything seized will be subjected to a rigorous technical analysis to verify its legal status and origin.
The central objective of these proceedings is to clarify possible violations of Law 631-16, which governs the Control and Regulation of Weapons, Ammunition, and Related Materials. The authorities seek to determine if there are criminal or administrative liabilities on the part of the owners and personnel linked to the businesses intervened.
The investigations remain open and it is expected that, as the analysis of the collected evidence progresses, the competent authorities will provide a detailed report on the final results of these operations.
